Looking good David. That cooling system looks hard core
I hope you didn't really injure yourself in the process.

Hmm was thinking about getting some tools today, when I saw a woodworking book on special at Borders. But then i saw this.. I am not sure now. 9 toes you say.. I like the Alt bearing mod you have done. Looks like you could add a belt drive there.

LOL David, two drills you say?
One's a Black & Decker and the other's an evacuation drill I suppose?
Looking good mate.
